41 • Amsterdam 1967 (1/5) • Talk 1: To Look Without a Concept Is To Be Aware of the Observer and the Thing Observed

Krishnamurti: One Sees or Understands Only When the Mind Is QuietAmsterdam 1967, Public Meetings1/5: To Look Without a Concept Is To Be Aware of the Observer and the Thing Observed
Violence and sorrow are not limited to the West or the East; it is part of the human structure, psychologically. 
Is it possible to bring about a change radically, a total revolution in the psyche itself, not through time? 
The first and last freedom is when the mind is totally free from concepts and the mechanical process of building a formula. 
It is an art to look, which is much more important than any art in the world, any painting, music or book; because when we can look so totally and completely, being directly in contact, there is an ending.
Q: If one has cancer, how can one be free from death?

42 • Amsterdam 1967 (2/5) • Talk 2: Where There Is Pleasure There Is the Shadow of Pain

Krishnamurti: One Sees or Understands Only When the Mind Is QuietAmsterdam 1967, Public Meetings2/5: Where There Is Pleasure There Is the Shadow of Pain
The whole movement of living, which is relationship, is a movement in action. 
What is consciousness? When do you say, ‘I am conscious, I am aware, I am attentive’?
Is there actually a division between the conscious and the unconscious, or it is a total movement, operating all the time? 
The mind that pursues pleasure must inevitably invite its opposite, which is pain. The two go together; they are not separate. 
You cannot see totally when you are making effort. 
Q: If you love your own child, your attention to your child is fairly complete, but if you are a teacher you cannot give attention to all the students.

43 • Amsterdam 1967 (3/5) • Talk 3: Is It Possible To Renew the Mind?

Krishnamurti: One Sees or Understands Only When the Mind Is QuietAmsterdam 1967, Public Meetings3/5: Is It Possible To Renew the Mind?
When the mind is living through imagination and thought, it is incapable of living in the complete fullness of the present. 
Thought has created time, not chronological time but psychological time. That is, ‘I will be,’ ‘I should be.’ 
Is it possible for the brain to be quiet, to give an interval between the old and the new? This interval is the timeless nature in which thought cannot possibly enter.
That which has continuity is repetitive, which is time. It’s only when time comes to an end there is something new taking place. 
To die every day to every problem, every pleasure, and not carry over any problem at all; so the mind remains tremendously attentive, active, clear.
Since love is not desire or pleasure, how does one come upon it? 
Q: Is the feeling of responsibility a part of the order and discipline you were talking about?
Q: Why don’t people get angry with what you are saying?

44 • Amsterdam 1967 (4/5) • Talk 4: Can Thought Stop?

Krishnamurti: One Sees or Understands Only When the Mind Is QuietAmsterdam 1967, Public Meetings4/5: Can Thought Stop?
When there is a process of recognition it is the projection of the past. The mind is always functioning within the field of time, which is of memory. Can the mind go beyond that? 
What is pleasure and what is desire? 
How is it possible, without control, subjugation or denying, for thought not to allow itself to interfere? 
When all authority of every kind is put aside, denied, then you can find out for yourself.
When you are completely attentive, you see. It is only love that sees - not thought, the mind or the intellect. One has to learn how to look, how to hear.
Q: Could you distinguish between what you mean by the word ‘recognizing’ and ‘being aware’?
Q: How is one to break off a concept that one has carefully built?

45 • Amsterdam 1967 (5/5) • Talk 5: It Is Only a Very Silent Mind That Can Actually See

Krishnamurti: One Sees or Understands Only When the Mind Is QuietAmsterdam 1967, Public Meetings5/5: It Is Only a Very Silent Mind That Can Actually See
Conflict exists only when there are two opposing things: fear and non-fear, violence and non-violence. 
A mind that is in a state of inquiry is entirely different from a mind that is seeking. Seeking implies effort, conformity, authority and therefore conflict.
Without space in which there is no boundary, the mind is incapable of coming upon immeasurable reality.
It is only a silent mind that can perceive, actually see, not a chattering mind, a controlled mind, a mind that is tortured, suppressed, yielding or indulging. 
When one has totally denied the psychological world which man has created, and the psychological structure of society of which we are, then there is space and silence. 
Q: Could you define contemplation and meditation?
Q: It is not possible ever to observe totally one’s own irrational thoughts.
Q: What does it mean to stand alone?

46 • Amsterdam 1967 (1/3) • Discussion with Young People 1: What Does It Mean To Be Totally Free?

Krishnamurti: One Sees or Understands Only When the Mind Is QuietAmsterdam 1967, Discussions with Young People1/3: What Does It Mean To Be Totally Free?
What takes place when one falls in love?
Why has sex taken on such extraordinary importance? 
How will you know that it is stupid to be a nationalist?
You see or understand only when the mind is quiet, when you are aware without any choice.
When I say, ‘I love you,’ I have blocked myself from looking at you. Is it possible to look totally impersonally and yet be completely intimate? 
One takes a drug and has an extraordinary experience. At the base of this is the demand for wider and deeper experiences. Why do you want experience?
Note: The original recording ended abruptly.

47 • Amsterdam 1967 (2/3) • Discussion with Young People 2: When One Observes a Fact Without Knowledge Then One Can Learn

Krishnamurti: One Sees or Understands Only When the Mind Is QuietAmsterdam 1967, Discussions with Young People2/3: When One Observes a Fact Without Knowledge Then One Can Learn
Why do we dream at all? 
Isn’t dreaming at night a waste of energy, when the brain needs to be completely at rest? 
When do you actually learn? 
When I learn through Freud about myself I am not observing myself, I am observing the image which Freud has created about me. 
Can you do nothing, psychologically?
If two people are quarrelling and one stops, what takes place?
The more we talk together, the more we communicate together, the clearer it becomes.

48 • Amsterdam 1967 (3/3) • Discussion with Young People 3: Is There Such Thing as Free Will?

Krishnamurti: One Sees or Understands Only When the Mind Is QuietAmsterdam 1967, Discussions with Young People3/3: Is There Such Thing as Free Will?
Is freedom partial? 
Why should I be bound to destiny? Born in India with the tremendous cultural traditions, why should I be caught in it?
Man is more important than the frame into which he is put.
Is it possible for a human being to free himself from society, psychologically?
Human beings have to change, and will thought change us? 
Man is society, has created the society in which we live. 
Are you influenced to change from outside or do you change from yourself?
To change according to a pattern is no change at all.

49 • Bangalore 1973 (1/3) • Talk 1: In the State of Attention There Is No Observer

Krishnamurti: Truth Is a Living Thing With No Place, Abode or TimeBangalore 1973, Public Meetings1/3: In the State of Attention There Is No Observer
Where there is division, whether religious, national, economic or social, there must be conflict. 
Begin not with the world but with yourself, because you are the world and the world is you. 
A revolution is necessary – not of the bomb or with bloodshed; that has not produced a change in the world at all. There must be a total transformation of the human mind to create a different kind of culture.
Is there an action which is not based on a conclusion or on an idea?
What is acquiring knowledge and what is learning?

Krishnamurti: Truth Is a Living Thing With No Place, Abode or TimeBangalore 1973, Public Meetings2/3: Fear, Love and Death
Where there is dependency there is fear and the pain of that which you depend upon being taken away. 
Can the mind be totally free of the accumulated fears of society and culture, and also of the personal fears?
Does thought breed fear? 
The pursuit of status is a psychological state invented by man in the social structure in which he lives. 
Is love attachment? 
Love is the total negation of what it is not. 
Can the mind be free of death?
